Method of allocating unique identifier and battery management system using the same

Abstract

Disclosed are a method of allocating unique identifiers to slave battery managers for managing battery modules by a master battery manager and a battery management system using the same, and the method includes making a request for allocation information to the slave battery managers; receiving the allocation information from the slave battery managers; and allocating the unique identifiers to the slave battery managers based on the allocation information, wherein the allocation information contains an MAC address of a device performing a calibration between the slave battery manager and the battery module and time information on a time when the calibration is performed. According to the present invention, it is possible to efficiently control and manage a plurality of battery modules by allocating unique identifiers by using allocation information set to each of the plurality of battery modules.
